Rappelling ...and Monkey Crawl..!!

Saturday 1st December 2007..

We 6 ...........Sonalika, Rishi, Vikas, Bhavin ,Soumyadeep and myself along with ..Rajendra our guide from Nisarga adventure club b’lore headed to Sawanadurga, a place with a fort on a lofty mountain, about 60 km from Bengaluru. The hill consists of two granite cliffs of 4000 feet tall and 13 kilometres (8 miles) in circumference , one called Bilibetta or white peak, another Karibetta or black peak.

The rocks are challenging. Climbers can endure up to grade 7. It's also ideal for light wilderness treks and camps.

Rappelling is the practice of sliding down a rope to descend a rock face. The technique was developed by climbers, but has turned into a sport of its own……YES and we did it on a 50 feet vertical rock………………..!!!!!!!!

All set down to Go...!!!
Then it was time for a short monkey crawl…….
Well one more adventure filled day added to my list….:-)

All thanks to Sonalika for planning and arranging the whole thing.......
